Seth Putnam is truly dead this time?[views:147249][posts:160]______________________________________ [Jun 14,2011 2:27pm - stoneylarsen ""] insult said: stoneylarsen said:First time I ever saw AC was at The Rat 9/95 w/Nightstick, Krapper Keeper, and Insult. Faith No More were in the audience. I Remember this show.Krapper Keeper were one of the weirder bands we ever played with (Seth brought them up), Faith No More were playing on landsdowne st I think, Seth was totally psyched they came to check out AC. That brings back some memories for sure, we played with AC so many times back then they kind of all blend in to each other, Krapper Keeper was a standout though. Seth and I had a ton of laughs over the years, he will be missed.RIP Seth. Yeah, it was an awesome show - totally spun my fucking head around. You guys were awesome, especially when you did "Charles In Charge". Next time I saw AxCx was downstairs at the MidEast - late 1995 - with Eyehategod, John Kozik on guitar. Tim Morse instructed me to yell "Tim Is A Faggot" after every song. I was young and stupid so I obliged. They played "Harvey Korman Is Gay" for me. Saw one of the Angry Hate shows at O'Brien's - 2003 or 2004 - not the one where tables got broken. Seth told me later he was in a blackout the whole time. Larry Lifeless sounded like he was the air getting let out of a balloon really slowly. They were stunningly brilliant - and sounded like Venom trying to butt fuck The Art Ensemble of Chicago. The now legendary Primordial Dwarf (a joke band that only half the members were in on - one of the dudes used to post on TNB - and the drummer was well over 50 and playing what Tm Morse would call a "Milwaukee Metal Fest" sized drum kit that took up the entire stage at OB's) supported and Seth shouted at them the single greatest heckle I have ever heard at a Boston show: "HEY YOU GUYS ARE PRETTY GOOD!" Also saw FULL BLOWN A.I.D.S. at The Choppin' Block - 2004 or 2005 - with Rob Williams in full black face and Afro wig. Drug War supported, and Rick Berlin (!) was in the audience. Booked AxCx three times at Church but did not see any of the shows. Scares me a bit to think that we hosted the last local show... Good night Seth. Sorry you didn't live to see the Village People "Sleazy" recording session footage that Craig MacNeil found... |

That wasn’t destined to be? The minute I woke up I asked my girlfriend to go to the liquor store. She wouldn’t go and I was like “stop being a cunt and go to the liquor store.” So I said “get me out of bed” and I’ll go and I realized I couldn’t move any part of my body. After being in the hospital my friend took me in a wheelchair to a bar. I had a bunch of drinks. The coolest day after that was when I smoked a bunch of crack. It was the first time I’d done crack in almost a year. |

| ____________________________________ [Jun 21,2011 8:25pm - Josh Cunt ""] I didn't write this but its pretty well said. Everything is gay now. The worst thing that could happen to you at a show now is some dumbass stagediver falling on your head. Gay. "So what's actually extreme to you? I mean, we all like extreme music, right? You're on a blog about extreme music, you talk about it with your friends, you go to shows where extreme bands play- you're involved in extremity, right? Well, how extreme is it really? A lot of your 'extreme' bands get sold in record shops alongside Celine Dion. You never have to worry about your safety when you go to one of those supposedly 'extreme' shows. Hell, no one's even bothered by death and black metal anymore- they're as much a commodity as any other previously underground genre of music. Your fake rebellion is getting repackaged and sold back to you by wealthy people who've never even been to a show where extreme bands played. At an Anal Cunt show, all of that bullshit got turned over and dropped on its head like an unhappy father with a screaming baby in his arms. At an Anal Cunt show, there was just as much chance of you having a good time as there was you getting the shit beaten out of you by one or more staggering drunks in the crowd or on stage. The threat and the extremity was very real; songs composed of either blasting, frantic noise or some of the most devastating, hard-bitten power violence you've ever heard were the perfect soundtrack to the threat of getting your face kicked in by someone. And the person typically doing the face-kicking? Seth Putnam, who died yesterday at 43. For over twenty years, Seth worked with Anal Cunt and other projects to keep the extremity in a scene that was rapidly turning into just another commodity for people to sell. The spiritual successor to GG Allin, Seth would get fucked up out of his mind on any combination of drugs and alcohol imaginable, storm on stage, and attack the audience both musically and physically with the sort of fervor nearly unimaginable in a world where Amon Amarth sells bobbleheads and Manowar has condoms emblazoned with their logo. Never compromising, never letting the fans down, and never giving up no matter how hated they were (no, thriving on the negative energy,) Seth Putnam didn't give a fuck about anything in the world apart from going further and harder than anyone else had ever gone before. Seth obeyed zero rules in his own life or in Anal Cunt. One release might be ass-kicking punk rock, the next might be noisecore, and the one after that could be a set of acoustic tracks about respecting women- it didn't matter, because Seth realized how arbitrary and stupid everything in the world actually was. Moreover, he never apologized for anything he said, publicly spouting some of the most extreme misogyny, racism, and anti-social things that have ever been heard from an extreme musician and never once suggesting that any of them were inauthentic or worthy of being apologized for. Did Seth actually believe in what he said? It doesn't matter, and he knew it didn't matter: all that mattered was the red-hot hatred for everything that drove him in his life and music. Seth Putnam was one of the last heroes of the true underground. He loved extreme music, extreme culture, and extreme life in a manner few of us will ever be able to understand. Extreme music has been dealt a blow with his death that will take a long while to recover from, whether you think it should or not. Tonight: get drunk, pick a fight, set something on fire, record a demo, throw up, get arrested, pass out in the street, beat your wife, go to a show, or crash your car to pay tribute to one of the last great legends of real extremity." |
